Some short stories can be a bit "long-winded" yet some are "short" short stories. Some say; "Well, this one is just too long to read." Then, what can you do? Does anyone read the Bible in one sitting? of course not. We take our time and read, study the Word of God little by little, to let the WORD sink in.
The same is with faith-inspiring short stories. I would not write a short story if it does not connect the reader somehow with God, with a faith experience, or just to put yourself in the shoes of the character or characters. Sometimes, we can not do that in one sitting. So, if you feel the story is too long. If it is, it is continued under "reply". then...you can...
1. Get up and drink some coffee, 2. Go walk the dog, 3. Go walk the cat, 4. Feed the dog 5. Feed the cat. 6. Feed the goldfish. 7. Go outside for a walk. 8. Look up into the sky and see if you can sight a UFO.
OK, now that I made you smile or laugh, just take a break and come back later. Don't stop reading just because it is long. Most of my short stories are long, but there is a meaning in each of the stories. Allow yourself to be blessed by the reading. I took a creative writing course when I attended Liberty University. It was well worth it. We were all challenged. So, if you have a special writing gift, use it, if you enjoy the writings of others, then READ!
